Howdy,

A spider or "Bot" is something that search engines use.

Yahoo, Google, MSN and ask jeeves etc...  They all use Web Crawlers [Spiders] and Robots [Bot] to search for new websites, and/or updates on old websites.

They then add the information to their databases.

So, if you search for "Narrow Gauge Madness Spiders" on a search engine like Google or Yahoo, you may be able to find this message.
